Rotating a 2D graphic in 3D space
I have an interesting dillema. I’ve got a 2D graphic of a turntable, but the graphic is already at a perspective (approximately 45 degrees). I have a flat vinyl record graphic that I went to set down on the turntable in 3D space. When I get close to the record, I want to tilt up as if looking down at it. Problem is, since the record is rotated in 3D space, but the turntable is not, as soon as I start tilting up, the turntable tilts differently than the record. I don’t mind if there is some distortion on the sides of the turntable because by the time I tilt up, it will be so close that the sides will be off screen, but I’d like to be able to square up the face (which is now diamond shaped because it is at an angle).
How do I setup my layers in such a way that the turntable is a 3D layer that is already at the same angle as the record, but looks the same as it does, so that when I tilt up, it “squares up”, sorry if this this hard to describe. I think I’ve seen it in tutorials before but I’m not sure.
